Repairs are at your own risk

Appliances run on mains electricity and may contain refrigerant, gas, sharp edges and heavy parts. Always unplug an appliance (and shut off water or gas where relevant) before working on it. If you are not confident, stop and call a qualified technician. HapusGapus is not responsible for damage, injury or loss resulting from the use of information on this site.

Leave these jobs to licensed professionals

  • Sealed-system work, including recharging or recovering refrigerant, which is regulated in many countries.
  • Gas appliance connections and gas leak checks.
  • New circuits, breaker changes and any wiring inside your home’s electrical panel.

Warranties and model differences

Opening or repairing an appliance yourself may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Models differ, so always check your owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s instructions where they differ from ours.

Codes and standards

Electrical, plumbing and gas codes vary by country and local authority. Where we mention codes or standards, treat them as general guidance and confirm the requirements that apply where you live.

Food safety

Storage times and temperatures are general guidance. When in doubt about food that has been kept warm or stored too long, throw it out.
